Original painting in mixed media on canvas.

Sophie Perkins
BA Fine Art, Falmouth University, 2020Sophie Perkins' paintings operate according to the same principles as landscape itself, enacting the land. Surfaces stained and soaked in natural pigment organise through gravity, accumulation, erosion and pause, leaving traces, deposits and residues that feel closer to geology than gesture.The contemplative and dynamic energy of the work oscillates between chance, control and careful restraint. Working with watered-down acrylic mediums and natural pigments, I use a pouring and soak-stain technique that has its own 'living' quality. The raw canvas creates 'breathing spaces', accentuating a contemplative space of balance, liminality and changing states. Working on large-scale canvases requires an immersive approach using bodily gestures – I catch and drag the paint with my hands and arms, carrying the landscape in my arms, in the words of Helen Frankenthaler.

Concerned about buying a piece you haven’t seen in the flesh? ▾

We don’t currently have a gallery space where you can view the work in person, though depending on where you’re based, a studio visit can sometimes be arranged. What we’ve found, overwhelmingly, over twenty-two years: when someone falls for a piece on screen, the real thing is more, not less. Colour, surface, scale, presence. It works that way around. It’s why, across two decades, our returns have been minuscule.

But rest assured: if it isn’t right when it arrives, it can be returned within fourteen days.
